Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers robbed the room for Neal. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Devin Neal slides to pick No. 138, you do not overthink it, and the Panthers did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the White reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter in slot 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy bit of business in pick 54, where Jihaad Campbell graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson slipping to No. 110 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 113th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at the 138th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
They reached a country mile for Shemar Turner at Round 5, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick161 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 161 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Aydan White
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aydan White in Round 7, Pick 13, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
